JFrame at Center Screen

[hiranya]

Hi,

I want a JFrame to always appear at the center of the screen. Is there a way to achieve this?

Regards,
Hiranya

    // Get the size of the screen
    Dimension dim = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
    
    // Determine the new location of the window
    int w = window.getSize().width;
    int h = window.getSize().height;
    int x = (dim.width-w)/2;
    int y = (dim.height-h)/2;
    
    // Move the window
    window.setLocation(x, y);

If you are using j2se 1.4+ you have access to the Window method
setLocationRelativeTo(Component c). Use null for the argument to center your top–level container.

use this.setLocationRelativeTo(getRootPane());

use this.setLocationRelativeTo(getRootPane());

And you replied just to put this?

Perhaps you could have tried adding something useful, rather than just "Eejit"?

Something useful to a rotten dead thread which has been answered three years ago? Come on.

It was usefull. It told anyone reading this posting to ignore that suggestion.

The proper solution has already been given so there was no need to repeat it.

Why don't you try (as a new member to the forum) to contribute something positive.
